You'd think they would know better....
I just saw a new television ad for the most prominent genealogical website. In the ad, a man who always thought his heritage was German discovers a Scottish heritage. He ends the story by saying he traded in his lederhosen for a kilt. The accompanying image was....a very good example of how NOT to wear highland attire.
I won't swear that he was wearing the Dress Stewart kilt backward, but something was definitely off. He had a plaid wrapped around him in imitation of a piper's plaid, his coat appeared to be ill-fitting...
In short, you would expect a website that deals in "heritage" would have some respect for the accoutrements.
